Venezuela asks Twitter to block black market dollar tweeters

The Twitter logo is seen at the company's headquarters in San Francisco Venezuela asked Twitter on Tuesday to block accounts linked to websites that publish the black market exchange rate for dollars, which the government says undermines its efforts to enforce currency controls and rein in inflation. President Nicolas Maduro ordered internet service providers this month to block pages including www.dolartoday.com that publish the rate, which is now more than nine times the official rate of 6.3 bolivars per dollar. In recent days, Twitter accounts associated with those pages have been tweeting alternate web addresses to access the sites. Venezuela's telecommunications agency said it told Twitter the firm was letting internet users duck the prohibition, "a situation that is seriously damaging to the Venezuelan economy." A Twitter spokesman said the company did not have any immediate comment.
